Ex-presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has stated that time has
vindicated his former principal, Goodluck Jonathan, as the best president
Nigeria ever had.
Omokri, who was a Special Assistant to ex-president
Jonathan, said this while celebrating the latter on his 64th birthday.
Taking to his verified Facebook page on Saturday, Omokri
listed out some of Jonathan’s achievements in a statement titled, ‘Happy
birthday former President Goodluck Jonathan.’
In his message to Jonathan, Omokri said, “They say time is
the great vindicator, and time has indeed vindicated you as the best President
Nigeria ever had. Under you, Nigeria became the largest economy in Africa, and
the third fastest growing economy in the world.
“You are not from Northern Nigeria, but no one ever showed
actionable concern for the Northern almajiri, like you did. You built 165
schools tailor designed for them and introduced the E-wallet system of
fertiliser distribution and financial support to peasant farmers, mostly of
Northern origin, and changed their fortunes for the better.
“You gave the Southeast their first and only international
airport, and took steps to address the marginalisation of the Southeast by
making an Igbo man the Chief of Army Staff.
“You built the single largest infrastructure in Nigeria, the
187 kilometres high speed Abuja-Kaduna railway, and thanks to your leadership,
no Nigerian state is today without a Federal University.
“You were the first Nigerian leader in 36 years to reduce
hunger, according to the International Food Policy Research Institute, for
which you received an award from the Food and Agricultural Organisation.
“You demonstrated that you are a good judge of character, as
your former ministers now head the World Trade Organisation, the African
Development Bank, the Global Alliance for Affordable Internet, while another is
currently Global Director for Health, Nutrition and Population at the World
Bank Group.
“In Africa, you are now a colossal figure, due to the way
and manner you handled the aftermath of the 2015 Nigerian Presidential
elections.
“Since leaving the Presidency, you have used your influence
to make Africa and the world a better and more stable place. Because of you,
there is peace in Mali, and you deepened democracy in Tanzania, Mozambique,
South Africa and other places.
“May God bless you forever for what you did for Nigeria,
Africa and the Black Race. Happy 64th birthday Dr. Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe
Jonathan.”
